THROUGH IT

"A river runs through it" - 

That's what they say, laughing

When they see where I live

They think it's funny

To live indoors but not really

The way I live


"A river runs through it" - 

It's not that funny

Yesterday I saw a fish

Full of panic, wanting something familiar

It's not that funny

If you live next to a river indoors
